Currie's Gratitude 23 February 2014

I think certain types of processes don’t allow for any
variation. If you have to be part of that process, all you can do is
transform—or perhaps distort—yourself through that persistent repetition, and
make that process a part of your own personality.[Haruki Murakami,What I Talk About When I Talk About Running]

It is a funny thing how we build or deconstruct habits. If we
jump right into a BIG Change in how we live Life or DO whatever it is we DO,
oftener than NOT we will fail.

Perhaps failing repeatedly helps us to see that Change, BIGor smallChange, is made by
tiny repetitions building one upon the other into successes.

The happiness of most people is not ruined
by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly
destructive little things.[Ernest Dimnet]

Somedays it is the simplest insight that turns me round and starts me
moving in a more Right-for-me direction. Whatever is done, day in and day out, is
the key to why I call a thing Good or NOT.

This is the lesson that history teaches:
repetition. [Gertrude Stein]

The habits of a people are no different than the habits of a person. Perhaps
we can BEcome what we most often
envision and imagine for ourselves…
